Class core.thread.threadbase.ThreadBase

class ThreadBase ;

Constructors

NameDescription
this (fn, sz)

Properties

NameTypeDescription
id[get] ulongGets the OS identifier for this thread.
isDaemon[get] boolGets the daemon status for this thread. While the runtime will wait for all normal threads to complete before tearing down the process, daemon threads are effectively ignored and thus will not prevent the process from terminating. In effect, daemon threads will be terminated automatically by the OS when the process exits.
isDaemon[set] boolSets the daemon status for this thread. While the runtime will wait for all normal threads to complete before tearing down the process, daemon threads are effectively ignored and thus will not prevent the process from terminating. In effect, daemon threads will be terminated automatically by the OS when the process exits.
isMainThread[get] boolTests whether this thread is the main thread, i.e. the thread that initialized the runtime
isRunning[get] boolTests whether this thread is running.
name[get] stringGets the user-readable label for this thread.
name[set] stringSets the user-readable label for this thread.

Methods

NameDescription
getAll () Provides a list of all threads currently being tracked by the system. Note that threads in the returned array might no longer run (see ThreadBase.isRunning).
getThis () Provides a reference to the calling thread.
join (rethrow) Waits for this thread to complete. If the thread terminated as the result of an unhandled exception, this exception will be rethrown.
opApply (dg) Operates on all threads currently being tracked by the system. The result of deleting any Thread object is undefined. Note that threads passed to the callback might no longer run (see ThreadBase.isRunning).
factory (classname) Create instance of class specified by the fully qualified name classname. The class must either have no constructors or have a default constructor.
opCmp (o) Compare with another Object obj.
opEquals (o) Test whether this is equal to o. The default implementation only compares by identity (using the is operator). Generally, overrides for opEquals should attempt to compare objects by their contents.
toHash () Compute hash function for Object.
toString () Convert Object to a human readable string.
